Part 2/5:
Eggs: Three eggs combined with 1/4 cup of water to create an egg wash.
Breadcrumbs (farinha de rosca) – for that ultimate crunch.
All-purpose flour (farinha de trigo) – a classic base for the breading process.
Preparing the Beef
Start by seasoning your beef liberally with salt, garlic, paprika, and pepper. It’s essential to ensure every piece is well coated. To enhance the beef's flavor, allow the seasoned meat to rest for at least two hours. This step allows the meat to absorb the seasoning more efficiently, but if you're pressed for time, you can skip this resting phase.
Next, set up your breading station.
- Coat in Flour: First, dip the seasoned beef in the flour. Make sure to shake off any excess.
